Waiting for a Heart Long Dead
Everyone in the city knows Nathan Cooper only agreed to marry me because he had no choice.
No matter how many times I tried to seduce him over the past seven years, he would just run his fingers over his rosary beads. Never once had he shown a trace of desire in his eyes.
It isn't until that night, when I see him answer a long-distance call from his first love.
Upon hearing her voice, Nathan loses control. It's as if heat was surging through his body like a live wire.
The next day, Lily Hunt flies back.
Nathan shoves me out of the car and drives off to pick her up.
As I fall from the bridge and lose my memory, news of Nathan's proposal to his beloved sets the whole city ablaze.
The next day, he shows up late to the hospital.
As Nathan stands by my bedside, he says he will marry me, but only if he can hold a wedding ceremony with Lily. Then, he announces the wedding date.
I lean against his bitter enemy, Luke Patton, and look at Nathan in confusion. "Sorry, who are you?"
